This card is my entry for one of this week's six Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Anniversary Challenges, FTTC52D, to make a card that is predominantly pink!! I wanted to find a good sketch to start with, and in my search I found this great Hearts one (http://limelightpapercrafts.blogspot...40-hearts.html) for this week's LimeLight Paper Crafts sketch challenge (LLPC040) and thought it would work perfectly for what I wanted to do. I've never tried a LimeLights sketch before, but I've heard other SCSers mention it, so I thought I'd give it a try.
To make my card I cut three sheets of subtly patterned pink DSP into 2-cm wide strips to adhere to a white card base as my background. The sketch required a heart shape and I thought that a heart framing some luscious Flourishes berries would be perfect!! I colored the berries image using my new Stampin' Pastels and a blender pen (I'm starting to get the hang of this; still lots of practice needed). The sentiment is from a retired TAC set. I punched it out with the word window punch and matted it on a modern label punch. To help set off the heart a bit more, I outlined with some paper piercing through the background.
This card will be my valentine for my 11-year-old daughter. I think she'll really enjoy it!!
Thanks for looking!
Emily
